Through
the 1980s, a global economy was developing, and there was increasing
pressure from multinational corporations and their globalist political
allies for initiatives such as NAFTA and GATT. Though Herman Daly (formerly
a senior economist with the World Bank) and theologian John B. Cobb,
Jr., didn't like the direction NAFTA and GATT were taking, in their
1989 book, FOR THE COMMON GOOD, they wrote: "The World Court needs
to be strengthened so that in the future, nations such as the United
States cannot ignore its judgments with impunity....If the economy becomes
more and more global with economic decisions not controlled by any political
body, then World Government in a strong sense will be needed....The
transferable birth quota plan (Boulding 1964; Daly 1974; Heer 1975)
proposes that scale and distribution of the rights to bear children
be determined by the community at large, but that these rights then
be traded in the free market.

This
plan is based upon the perception that the right to reproduce can no
longer be treated as a free good. It must be seen as a scarce good in
a full world. As with other scarce goods, reproduction rights must be
subject to distribution and allocation....Foremost is the problem of
appropriate punishment for those who have children without certificate.
The alternatives range...to forced surrender of the child for adoption....The
United States should accept the rulings of the World Court and the judgments
of the United Nations....This is a vision of a shift of power from the
nation-state both upward to regional and global agencies and downward
to similar communities. It is a vision that is increasingly gaining
acceptance and seems in some ways likely to be realized."

By
1992, a former Citicorp chairman, Walter Wriston, wrote THE TWILIGHT
A SOVEREIGNTY, in which he claimed: "A truly global economy will
require...compromises of national sovereignty....There is no escaping
the system." And on July 20 of that same year, Strobe Talbott (Rhodes
scholar) in TIME magazine wrote: "Perhaps national sovereignty
wasn't such a great idea after all....But it has taken the events in
our own wondrous and terrible century to clinch the case for world government."

President
Clinton would make Talbott number 2 at the State Department. Talbott's
brother-in-law, Derek Shearer, had earlier (1980) co-authored ECONOMIC
DEMOCRACY, promoting what many understood to be a move toward Socialism
in America. In the book was outlined a plan for a Democrat, who would
implement the plan's policies, to run for the presidency. In that regard,
it should be noted that many commentators have spoken and written about
the similarity between many of President Clinton's policies and those
of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is also a vice-president of
Socialist International. Derek Shearer has been associated with the
leftist Institute for Policy Studies (IPS, founded by Richard Barnet
and Marcus Raskin), and he has been a friend and advisor to Bill Clinton,
who as president appointed a number of people associated with the IPS
to positions in his administration.

Whenever
the concept of a ruling global elite, especially in terms of the Council
on Foreign Relations (CFR) or Trilateralists, is mentioned, individuals
such as Rush Limbaugh pointed to CFR members like William F. Buckley,
Jr. and George Will and say they are not part of some organized effort
diminishing American national sovereignty. In this regard, the words
of CFR member Richard Barnet himself in his 1972 book, ROOTS OF WAR,
are instructive: "In recent years a few symbolic policy critics
have actually been recruited, but failure to be asked to be a member
of the Council has been regarded for a generation as a presumption of
unsuitability for high office in the national security bureaucracy."
Thus, it seems fairly clear that the power elite within the CFR and
their global allies are largely in control.

Because
the power of the multinational corporations has grown over recent decades,
the matter of their ownership has become very important. According to
an August 2008 Reuters report, "foreign ownership of U.S. companies
more than doubled from 1996 to 2005...." And in March 2011, based
on projections from a 2005 Grant Thornton Report and other related IRS
data receipts, Citizens for Equal Trade projected that Foreign Controlled
Domestic Corporations (FCDC) will reach 51% as a percentage of the whole
by the year 2033, if current trends keep occurring along with large
yearly U.S. trade deficits.

Because
foreign owners do not have any loyalty to the U.S. as a nation or to
American workers, this can have a negative impact upon their business
and employment decisions. This, in turn, can impact negatively our national
sovereignty which, of course, the Power Elite wants to undermine in
order to establish a World Socialist Government.
